About This Home
As of February 2021This Fishtown charmer is the perfect mixture of historic details with modern upgrades. Enter through the brick facade and immediately notice the gorgeous hardwood floors, exposed brick wall, and open floor plan. The dining room features beautiful wainscoting and tray ceiling. The extra-wide kitchen boasts a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a polished concrete floor, and tons of storage. The kitchen sink window overlooks a large patio area - perfect for outdoor grilling, dining, and entertaining. The first floor is also home to an adorable powder room, a coat closet, and a side door to a second outdoor area for trash can, bike, and/or stroller storage. Follow the hardwood floors upstairs to 3 bedrooms and a hall bath. The master bedroom is light and airy with 13-foot vaulted ceilings and a custom closet. The bathroom is stunning - with Carrara marble throughout and whirlpool soaker tub/shower combo. The exposed brick wall continues from the hallway into the large front bedroom and the third bedroom is perfect for a nursery or office - both of these bedrooms have ample closet space. The basement is partially-finished with drywall and recessed lighting in the painted wood beams - with high ceilings and tons of space - the possibilities are endless for an office, workout area, craft room, or tons of extra storage. The basement is also home to a large laundry room. This home has it all plus is located in the heart of Fishtown - just steps to everything - amazing restaurants, nightlife, parks, and public transportation. All of this PLUS 2 years left on the tax abatement!
